OK, I was going to upload the cropped version of the first image, but then I realised that I had yet another version (sad I know).

Not sure if this addresses the issues as stated or not, so I'll leave it up to he audience to decide

Well Pete decided, so it's not a fair comparison now - I do think it makes Dan the EC crit king as it's not the first time I have uploaded a version to his description in previous critique that has gone on to get an EC

Correct version is now in the mods - must pay more attention, but allowed normal workflow to be disturbed by trying to do too many things after a 14 hour day!

Oh yes more water drops and paint splashes. Or I could borrow Lucky and put him on a perch!

Nope, sorry have a few trips for real wildlife (hopefully) planned for April, then finish the month with two days at the MWFC. So I'm afraid more of the same! Though some new ideas hopefully for the MWFC sessions, birds and falconer willing

See Pete's still a fan - although with images of this quality anyone who isn't needs to go away and lie down in a darkend room. Superb as usual.

Two quick questions:

1) What is version 3 all about???
2) Do you think cropping (sorry I know you are not a fan of this) a little more from the tree would balance the composition a even more? Note: not that the composition is anyway poor, this is more of an academic point of interest.

Rgds,

Adam

Version 3 was that Cole suggested on a forum thread that this image was underexposed and that seeing the histogram from shots like this would help people give better critique. I pointed out in this case, dark bird in dark forest on a predominantly dark tree and guess what the histogram is biased to the left, however, the exposure is good.

As for cropping you will see there have been a few variations loaded already, and I have probably another 20 that I will not bother people on ePZ with.

Thanks all.

Nice one Cheryl & deserves it's place in your EC file too.
I like the way the feathers of the Owl almost mirror the shape & textures of the tree,a little closer to the trunk & you wouldn't see him
